Speaking of improving the VCS usage, how about tagging?

It would be nice if a tag is created for each dmd, phobos and druntime repositories, sometimes I want to see what changed between a version and another and it's not trivial to do so.

I know there is a changelog in the website, but I want to see the actual changes, the diffs, not only a high-level description of the change.

Thanks!

Sure is barren, but this is what you are looking for I think:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/druntime/browser/tags
http://www.dsource.org/projects/phobos/browser/tags

Don't know of dmd's source solution, so I don't know where those tags would be.

I agree it would be good if these were kept up to date.  You can probably figure out at least the druntime and phobos tags from history.

An easy intermediate step would be to include the SVN revision numbers of Phobos ad Druntime when a release is packaged.  In fact, the makefiles could probably dump this information somewhere and have it built into the libraries, thanks to the mixin file feature.  Maybe I'll add a version string to the Runtime object for this (at least for Druntime).  In Phobos, I guess this could go in std.compiler, though there has to be a better place for it.

How is this easier than tagging?  Tagging is almost a no-op.

I know where they should be, the problem is, nobody creates them! =)

I think that would be nice too, but tagging is easy enough, I don't know if you have any release script, but if you do, tagging can be automatically done in that script.

Perhaps Walter just doesn't really know what tags are or what they are good for.

So here's the doc for them: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s06.html

Key example:

  svn copy http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk \
           http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/tags/release-1.0 \
                  -m "Tagging the 1.0 release of the 'calc' project."

(creates the tagged version with tag "release-1.0").

Walter does use a release script.  It could probably be modified to tag revisions without too much trouble.

It's easier because it could be built into the Druntime/Phobos makefiles and not rely on a release script or manual effort to actually happen.
